United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Anamorphic Widescreen, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Director Bertrand Blier's Les Valseuses features Gerard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere as a pair of sociopaths wending their way across France. Though Depardieu is the more dominant of the two, both men are equally culpable in their disregard for common decency. They are particularly rough on women, even the like-minded Miou-Miou, whom they both love in their own way. Jeanne Moreau has a brief bit as an ex-convict who sleeps with both Depardieu and Dewaere. ...Going Places ( Les Valseuses ) ( Getting It Up )

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best french films of the seventies,
By
This review is from: Les Valseuses [DVD] (DVD)
Les Valseues have key elements to be a classic:
Excellent performances (Depardieu outstanding, Deweare almost touching perfection, Miou Miou is unforgettable) Completely original script. Superb direction and control of an almost totally implausible story. One of my favorite films of all times. Adult themes, outrageous situations, drama, passions and relationships tested to the limit.

Classic French Flashback!,
By
This review is from: Les Valseuses [DVD] (DVD)
This film was thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable! Depardieu and Dewaere are a couple of aimless rogues who wander around the 70's French countryside causing havoc. They steal cars for fun, find various ways to obtain Francs, and use and discard women like you wouldn't believe. There are many sex scenes which are often hilarious (as in Rita, Sue and Bob too). If you like obscure but unique French film-making at it's best, you wont go wrong with this gem.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Shocking by today's standards, but with a certain charm.,
By
This review is from: Les Valseuses [DVD] (DVD)
While it is very much a product of its time, I have to admit to feeling a certain lever of discomfort at the level of misogyny and violence against women in this film. At first it seemed mildly amusing with the characters of Jean-Claude and Pierrot as likeable rogues who steal what they want and have sex with who they want and within the context of the film it was somewhat justifiable, but halfway through the film it started to made me feel fairly uncomfortable. Despite the negative aspects of the film it's extremely watchable and strangely has a certain charm about it.
